Manufacturing & Assembly
The Headache
"Our Production line was a constant juggling act. We'd often run out of a small component, halting Production for hours or end up with mountains of another part we didn't need, tying up cash. Our Inventory numbers in the system never matched what was actually on the shelves and trying to figure out true Production costs was a nightmare of spreadsheets. We knew these inefficiencies were costing us, but pinpointing exactly where and by how much was impossible."
The AM8ZE Solution
"AM8ZE came in and gave us a single view of everything. Before, our Sales team would take orders and then the Production team would have to manually check if we had enough raw materials. This often led to delays and last-minute, expensive rush orders. Now, when a Sales Order comes in, the AM8ZE system automatically checks raw material stock against our Bills of Materials and even suggests when to reorder, based on lead times and Production forecasts. Our Production schedule is actually reliable because it's based on real-time, accurate inventory. The Finance team loves it too – they can now see exact costs per batch, including labour and overheads, which was impossible before. We've cut down on emergency orders and wasted materials and our team spends less time hunting for parts and more time actually making things. This integrated approach directly led to tangible improvements."
The Outcome
Reduced Production Delays
Our planning became faster and more accurate, leading to a 15% improvement in on-time delivery rates.
Optimised Inventory
We significantly reduced overstocking and costly emergency orders, resulting in a 25% reduction in Inventory holding costs.
Clearer Costing
A better understanding of true profitability per product line, enabling smarter pricing and Production decisions.
